HOY I SPINE MY VACATION:

Yolks - are you tired? Nerves bed?
Need a change? Take a tip and make a trip.
Do you have a silly obsession for cars
and speed? Take a jaunt to Vancouver.

It*s worth it. You start at Cassiar
Loaded down with summer and winter luggage,
snow boots and hip-boots for rainy season.
And don*t forget your umbrella. It saves
your hip-beots being filled. Aleo take
your tranquillizers, nerve pills, gravol
pills and sleeping pills. Cassiar ts
Alaska Highway is roughly the best part
of the road = lots of mums = but that’s
only 87 miles.

Reaching the Alaska Highway, you tell

At Fort St.John and Dawson you. don’t
drive around a corner, you sneak up to it,
do a complete turn around, then reset
your compass and contimie. Of course,
you are usually in a different direction
to what you were driving, but that dosan't
matter. On most of the streets there you
gust slide around 3 or 4 blocks and eventu-
ally get back to your former position, Up
to this point I have taken 4 liver pilis,

6 tranquillizers, 8 nerve pills and 4 slee~
pers. I*m frantic; my hubby threw me a
hottle of Rye and told me to get drunk.

I couldn't even fold the bottle,

To “rince George was sheer nerve ra
Any traffic we met was in the ditch or
sitting on the side of the road empty-
I*Il bet those drivers did a lot of hiking,

“e danced and slipped and rocked and rolled

for 14, solid hours stopping once for gas.
No snow, just ice.
